Whirlwind

Our life looks so much different than it did just a week. So much has gone on this week. What you ask? Well, here is a little timeline…

Last Friday - Dave had an interview with Mississinewa Schools. They offered him a position as a Special Education Teacher at Westview. He took it.
Monday - he resigned from Marion Community Schools and began cleaning out his classroom.
Tuesday - I went in to help, and by lunch time, we had loaded up both cars with boxes, posters, area rugs, books and anything else he had in his classroom.
Wednesday – we went to Westview and began moving in.
Thursday – I interviewed at Allen (Dave’s former school) for a Literacy Specialist Position. I had subbed last year in this capacity and now that Anna will be in Kindergarten, I was applying to do it again this year.
Thursday - We decided to send our kids to Westview. They are excited about being at the same school that Daddy works at.
Friday – I had an interview with Mississinewa for an aide position. (I found out before going to the interview that the Literacy Specialist was given to another teacher.) As I was in the interview, I was offered a position as the “Waterford Lab” teacher at Northview. I still don’t know exactly what that will look like. I do know that it will be in a computer lab though. There will be no grading, no take-home work. :-)

A week ago, Dave was working for Marion, our kids were going to Kendall and I was staying home full time. Today, Dave is working for Mississinewa and our kids are going to Westview. I am also working for Mississinewa – no longer a “stay-at-home-mom”, but now a “working mom”. I am excited about all the changes. But, what a whirlwind! I am still trying to wrap my mind around it all.
